Does the FDIC hire summer legal interns at its locations outside Washington
DC?
Yes, at some of them. Each regional legal office makes its own determination whether to hire summer legal interns. If an office decides to hire, it will place notices with the placement offices of law schools in its local area. The application process for the regional offices is independent of the on-line process for the Headquarters program. The Legal Division has offices in Boston, New York City, Atlanta, Jacksonville, FL, Chicago, Kansas City, MO, Dallas, Memphis, and San Francisco, CA.
